californication is one of my favourite albums

i remember listening to californication for the first time with my ms1 - sounded bad, and made me wonder if i needed to upgrade headphone... then i found it was just poorly recorded

Tool and 10,000 Days. It sounds very muddy and squashed when compared to their other work.

Holy crap!

Also, I have to completely disagree with whoever said Rage Against the Machine. RATM albums sound damn great.

Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory. One of the worst, and the SACD is more of the same.

Californication sounds like a mono recording that is made stereo afterwards.
The guitar, bass and vocals are tightly placed in the middle, without any space and seperation between the instruments and only the drums/percussion make the sound a bit wider and give you a slight impression of stereo sound.
The clipping of this record is really awfull and the overall sound lacks warmth.

So glad I ran across this thread. Just a coincidence that I was listening to my old Californication CD today for the first time on my hi-fi setup and I immediately noticed how bad it was. Glad this post confirms it as I was starting to wonder if it was something with my setup.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but one of the youtube videos referenced in the wikipedia article is really good: YouTube - The Loudness War
